Route Description
Brantry Wood is an ancient woodland site, this means that there have been trees on this site since it was first mapped in 1830 (1st Edition Ordinance Survey Maps) and that this tree cover has been maintained to this present day.
The woodland plays host to a wide variety of wildlife. Keep an eye out for evidence of foxes, badgers and bats. Look up to the sky for a variety of birdlife such as buzzards, great tits and chaffinch. Down by the lake you may see dragonflies, damsel flies and swans.
